“We will launch an indigenous Bharat Krishi satellite for farm-related activities like crop forecasting, pesticide application, irrigation, soil health, and weather forecasting, among others.”
No dedicated indigenous "Bharat Krishi satellite" has been launched. The satellite-based functions described in the pledge (crop forecasting, soil, irrigation and weather monitoring) are currently delivered using existing ISRO satellite data through platforms such as the Krishi Decision Support System (Krishi-DSS, 2024) and the FASAL crop-forecasting project, and via YES-TECH for yield estimation under PMFBY — rather than a purpose-built agriculture satellite. The specific commitment to launch a dedicated Krishi satellite remains unfulfilled. Pending.
We have established PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras to provide all agricultural inputs and services as one-stop shops to our farmers. We will further expand the network of PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras.
We have started using nano-urea to ensure continued soil fertility in Indian farmlands. We will further expand access to and encourage adoption of Nano Urea.
We have upgraded KVKs to provide digital solutions to our farmers. We will further upgrade all Krishi Vigyan Kendra into a one-stop centre for skill development.
